Lodias the creative pokemon part 2 of 3 It has been two hours since Tranise’s death, and now May is staring into the fire, Max is trying to cheer her up, Misty is praying in her hands that the rest of the gang will be alright, and Brock is now cooking there dinner. “It should have been me.” May said in a low voice, low enough for the rest to hear her. “I should have been the one to have died, not him… WHY DID HE DO THIS TO ME! He promised…” “But May…” Misty started. “He did it because he loves you. The same thing why Ash saved me instead of himself, he did that because… he loved me.” “Well right now have to worry about us and not about Ash and Tranise now.” Max said, still trying to cheer May up. “Yea, and we can’t defend ourselves without our pokemon, now c’mone guys, dinners ready” Brock said stirring the last bit of the soup. They all dined in and started eating. They all finished and went quickly to sleep, except for May. She was still thinking about Tranise and what he had done for her. It took her a few hours for her to go to sleep but she managed to get up the next morning without feeling sleepy. The next morning, they all woke and got started on there journey. “Where do we go now Ginger?” Max asked. “Well, keep walking straight for a about thirty minutes, then, their should be another door, just like the one you guys saw at the beach.” “Oh boy, here we go again.” Brock said looking depressed, remembering what had happened when they went into the last door. “I know how you feel Brock.” Ginger said, “More then half the town is now destroyed by the storm and getting worse too.” “We just have to stop this soon.” Misty added. Thirty minutes later, they came upon a door just like Ginger said. “Here we go guys.” May said shaking, not wanting to open the door. But she knew she had to, so she opened it fast and accidentally hit Max on the face. “OUCH!” Max cried. “Sorry Max.” May said apologizing. “Wow!” Max said looking up at a huge snowy mountain through the door. “Uhh Ginger, do we have to climb that?” “Have to?” Ginger said, laughing as if Max had no choice. “You will.” “Oh boy” Max sighed. “Its cold up there!” Misty said shaking from coldness. “But we have to go Misty.” Brock said pushing them all through the door. After they all got in the door, the door closed and disappeared right behind them. “Welp…now we know that we can’t go back.” May said in the lead starting to walk. “Brr, it’s soo cold here. Brock don’t you have any sweatshirts or anything?” Max complained. “Nope, I’m cold myself, it’s like a blizzard here.” “Oh boy… HEY!” Max looked at May and saw her wearing Tranise’s sweatshirt. “How did you get that sweatshirt May?” “I got it before Tranise died.” May answered. “Well come on, we can’t start arguing right now.” Misty said looking at Max And May. “Ginger where are we suppose to go right now?” “Well…w..w…g…go….gr..” Ginger was breaking apart from the blizzard and soon they had no one to guide them any more. “Ginger!” Misty cried. “We must have lost her through the blizzard.!” Brock yelled as the storm was getting worse. “Come on, lets just keep on going straight and see where that takes us.” Brock yelled heading to the lead. They walked for about an hour straight up the hill, but were only half way up the hill, that moment the thirty minutes has passed, Misty dropped to the ground. “MISTY!” They all yelled. “Misty are you ok?” Brock said picking her up. “I—I—I’m so cold.” “Here Misty let me carry you” Brock said picking her up, carrying her as long as he can. They walked for a few minutes until the cliff they were walking on, and the snow that was upon fell. It was an avalanche they now had. “AHH!” May yelled. “AVALANCHE!” Max yelled. “Come on everybody run!” “But to where?” May asked terrified of the avalanche. “Go up ahead!” Brock insisted. They all went up, but the avalanched caught’em and they all fell down wards where the avalanche was, they all fell down, down, down until they hit the ground, not the very bottom but where they have never been before. Brock popped his head out of the snow. “Is everybody ok!?” He yelled out being worried. Then May and Max popped out and answered back. “Yea we’re ok.” They both answered. “Hey but where’s Misty!” Brock asked looking all around. They all looked around not knowing where Misty was, until they heard Misty moaning. “Misty!” May cried running over to her, and so did Max and Brock. Brock felt her neck for a pulse. “No… it can’t be! She has no pulse.” Brock cried. “No Misty!” May yelled hugging her. “Please don’t go Misty/” Max said having tears down his face. But it was to late, she was already starting to disappear just like Tranise did. “No, Misty, come back please.” May said starting to cry. “We don’t wanna loose you to.” Max cried trying to get May away from Misty, whose body was already more then half gone. Soon, she disappeared and gone. Nowhere to be seen, everyone was now scared. The hopes came down to May, Max, and Brock. “Hey Brock what’s that?” Max said pointing to a rickety old bridge. “Looks like a bridge.” Brock answered walking towards it. “Careful Brock, it looks like it’s going to fall very soon.” “We’ll have to cross it.” May said walking towards the bridge passing Brock. “But May its way to dangerous, we never know when its going to fall, and one of us could be next.” Max said frowning. “Don’t worry Max none of us will die soon now.” May said giving Max a hug. “Let’s go.” Brock said. As they were walking on the almost going to break bridge, they held each other tightly by tying a rope onto each other. May was first in line, then Max, and last Brock. The wind blew fearfully and was shaking the bridge and all that was on it. “AHH! It’s a long way down!” Max screamed holding onto May. “Don’t worry just keep on going.” Brock said. “AHHHHHH” They all yelled. “HANG ON!” May yelled. They all fell and hung onto the bridge still but now it was like a ladder they had to climb to get to the top. “Lets keep on climbing guys!” May yelled looking down, then making a face of horror. “May don’t look down!” Max said. ”I’m trying really hard not to!” May said then climbing. “Oh no! This thing is about to break of on the other end.” Brock yelled. May saw the break and started climbing faster. “Were to heavy…” Brock said in a low voice. May looked down and said. “Don’t you dare be thinking of that Brock!” Just then, Brock pulled a knife out of his backpack. “Max…May…I’m sorry.” Brock said. “NO BROCK PLEASE DON’T!” Max and May shouted, trying to stop him from using the knife. He touched the rope with the knife and started moving it back and forward. “NO PLEASE BROCK WE GOT SO FAR! DON’T DO THIS NOW!” May shouted. But it was to late; Brock cut the rope enough for it to snap off itself. He fell down, more then maybe a thousand feet up. “NOOOO!” Max and May cried as they saw Brock fall. Now, everyone was gone except for Max and May. They managed to get up and on the cliff in a few minutes but then found themselves on another door. “May, I’m scared.” Max said still crying. “I know, I’m scared too. But we have to keep going Max.” “OK.” They got up, shook their tears and opened the door. When they opened it, there was another beach, but different from what they saw a long time ago. “Another beach.” May said. “And theirs a cabin straight ahead of you guys to.” Ginger said pointing them out now that the storm was gone. “After May and Max saw the cabin, they quickly ran towards it, trying to get some rest. ‘Five days left’ May thought while Max was looking in the fridge to see what there was to eat. “Theirs nothing but ham here.” Max said still searching for some food. ‘How on earth am I gonna complete this without my friends? What will I do if something were to happen to Max? I’m alone, I need help.’ May thought. “Come on you guys, go to sleep we got a big day tomorrow.” Ginger said. “Well it’s hard to sleep with an empty stomach.” Max said still looking for something good to eat. “Well I’m going to bed.” Said May heading towards a room down the hall. (Lodias) “How, could I not feel the love they feel? How come I could not love my friends the way they loved theirs? I am a loner right now, but I cannot give up my revenge just yet. I have to complete my quest of destroying the world.” (In May’s dream) May and Tranise is sitting back on the tree they sat at before they all began this mission. ”Oh Transsy. I love you.” May said. “I love you to May.” Tranise said back. “Will you promise me that you will never leave me alone?” “I promise nothing will come by us as long as you have me around.” Tranise said hugging May. “Aw you’re the best Tranise.” May said, then suddenly, Tranise started to glow again, into Mordikus. May then stopped hugging him and stepped back. “Your back.” She said. “What have you done to him?” May asked. “Your boyfriend is no longer with you, human.” Mordikus said. “No, it can’t be.” “It is, now let me finish my long quest of destroying Lodias! Move aside!” “No!” May said standing in the way. “You may be wanting to destroy Lodias like I am but you are still evil yourself!” “Me evil? You are the evil one, stepping in my way of destroy Lodias.” May heard the words and knew that he was right. But she still stepped in the way. “I know you want to destroy Lodias but you also want to destroy us to, isn’t that right?” “Hmm? And how did you know my prophecy?” “Because…” May said lifting her shirt to show him the mark in her. “You…you are the one.” “I don’t know how I knew what you wanted to do, it just popped in my mind and I just said it out loud without even thinking about it.” “Even though you have created me…” He was broken up my May. “Created you? How did I create you?” May asked. “You may not know it but, the love that you hold deep within me, the person I now hold control of, without love, I am nothing but thin air. Whoever were to recite the poem and if that person was the chosen ones love… then without you we are nothing. If that love wore to go away, I will never be what you see again. I may be destined to destroy Lodias and others to, but to tell you, that I am still good, I am not evil. If you wish to stop me then here.” Mordikus said holding out a yellow dagger out to May. That time May looked surprised. “Take it and plunge it into my heart when you are ready, you can still love the one in me, but only when you really think its time to destroy me. Choose your time wisely chosen one.” Then Mordikus disappeared and May woke up May woke up, and thought if the dream she had was true. She felt something under her pillow. She reached in and grabbed it. When she saw it, she couldn’t believe her eyes. It was the dagger that Mordikus gave her. Glowing bright yellow, just like in May’s dream. It was still dark outside, but May decided to go out onto the beach and walk around barefooted. She stepped out, into the sand, close to the waves and felt the wind breezing on her, and the cold splash the waves gave her. ‘Thank you Mordikus.’ She though ‘ Now I know that you are really good inside you.’ That night, she stared at the moon, sitting on the beach and laying in the sand. “Don’t you worry guys, ill bring all of you back.” She said in a low voice, and then slowly went to sleep on the beach. The next morning Max woke up and not seeing May in her bed. “May where are you?” He yelled. “Ginger, Ginger where’s May?” He asked. “Don’t worry Max, I’m right here.” May said walking through the door. “May where did you go?” Max asked hugging May. “Oh…somewhere close by.” May said staring out the window. “So now what do we do?” Max asked, knowing that they were all alone he didn’t feel safe anymore. “Don’t you worry Max, we have Ginger to help us still.” “Ok guys are you ready?” Ginger said. “Yes we are.” May said holding up her fist. ‘I’ll save you soon Tranise’ She thought. “Ok now if you look outside out into the view of the beach you should be able to see an island.” Ginger announced. Max and May went outside to see if there was an island just like Ginger said. “Hmm, I don’t see anything” May said still trying to see the island. “Hey I see it May!” Max said pointing at it. “Where? I can’t see a thing.” “Maybe you need glasses.” “Why you!” “Now guys quit fighting.” Ginger said. “FINE.” Max and May said, but May punched Max upside. “Grrr… Ok now what do we do now Ginger?” Max asked. “We don’t have a boat to get there. And we can’t use anything to cut down any trees to make a raft.” “Max is right, we have nothing, and our only hope is to hopefully find a road that at least goes to the island.” May said knowing tat she only had four more days left. “Eureka! There is a road that leads to the island!” Ginger said sounding glad. “Ok… and where exactly is that?” Max asked sounding sarcastic. “Uhh its on the other side of the island.” Ginger said. Max and May fell down anime style. “That’s… a long walk.” May said looking at the long road they were heading to. “Well we have to get started if we wanna get there soon.” Ginger said. Max and May both nodded and started their long journey. They walked and walked for a long time and now they were at an entrance to a dark jungle. “Uhh May, do we have to go through this?” Max asked stepping back away from the jungle. “Stay if you want, I don’t care.” May said entering the jungle and leaving Max. “Hey wait! Don’t leave me alone May!” Max yelled running after her. As they were walking, May asked. “Ginger, are there any creepy things here?” “Well, yes.” Ginger answered. “Like?” “Uhh, LIKE THAT THING BEHIND YOU! WATCH OUT! RUN!” “May and Max turned back to look and they saw a human like figure, a bit taller then Max standing on top of May (Or the other way around.) “I was sent here my Lodias to eliminate you humans.” It said. “Uh oh, RUN MAY!” Max said running around. The thing had sharp blade hands and swung one at May, but she managed to run and out of the way in time. “AHH!” May and Max yelled running and scared. They looked back and say that the thing was gone. “Hey May its gone.” Max said stopping. “Where could it have gone?” May asked, then turned around and saw it right in front of them. “Max its right in front of us, run!” May said. Max turned around and saw it about to attack so he ran the other way. “AHHH!” They yelled again. “MOMMY!” Max yelled, still running. But May tripped over and fell down and Max was still running not even noticing that May fell. “Ahh! Max help!” May yelled for help but Max was to far away to hear. “Ginger help!” She cried. “Now time to die.” The thing said. It took it’s sharp hand claws, and swiped it onto May, ripping the sweatshirt she wore that was Tranise’s and also made a big cut on May’s stomach. “AHHHH!” She cried as she was slashed in pain. She was bleeding fast and was very hurt. The thing was about to slash one more time, finishing her off but then a flash of yellow light appeared right between them. In the light, May saw someone who looked familiar to her. “Mordikus?” She said in a low voice. The person in the light (Mordikus) nodded. “Great beast of the woods, servant of Lodias.” Mordikus said. “Who are you?” The beast said. “I am Mordikus, sworn duty to destroy all evil, but blessed with a curse to destroy other as well. But now I swore to protect all as I can and you must never RETURN! NOW BE GONE!” The light turned bright, so bright that it shined up the forest and May was not able to see a thing. In seconds, the light faded and everything was clear now. The beast was gone, Mordikus was gone, but the slash she had was still bleeding. “Thank you Mordikus.” May said. But then she fell down from the pain and fainted. When she woke up, she was still in the forest, but she was bandaged where she was hurt., and her shirt was taken off and she was in her bra. “Uhh, Where am I?” She said looking around and rubbing her head and putting her shirt back on but the shirt still had the slash marks on it. “Were still in this forest.” Max said. “Huh… oh.” May started then grabbed Max’s shirt. “YOU DUMB BROTHER LEAVING ME OUT THERE ALMOST TO DIE!!” “I’M SORRY! I DIDN’T SEE YOU I SWEAR!” May let go of Max’s shirt and felt pain through her stomach. “May what’s wrong?” Max asked. “WHAT DO YOU THINK? CAN’T YOU SEE I HAVE BANDAGES ON!” May yelled, still feeling the pain. “Well sorry, when I got here you were just sleeping.” “What? You mean that you didn’t put the bandages on?” May stopped, then thought, ‘Mordikus… thank you.’ She stopped there and stood up on her feet. “May! You should me resting!” Max said trying to make her rest. “We don’t got time to rest Max! Don’t you know that we have only four more days left? This isn’t a vacation where we can rest anytime we want! This is serious and if we don’t complete this, the whole world will be destroyed by the storm that’s happening right now in the real world!” “May’s right.” Ginger said, her voice soaring through the air. “The storm is now getting worse, helpless lives are now being destroyed and we have nothing that we can do to help except for this. But if you want, I can transport you guys back.” After Ginger had said that, there was a complete silence for a while. Both May and Max were staring down at the floor. A few minutes later, May came up to Max and put her hand on his shoulder. “Max…Ill do whatever you want to do.” She said now crying. “I wanna go home May.” Max said also crying. “Ok.” “Ginger, bring us home.” “Ok.” Ginger said. Soon May and Max started to glow bright white, and soon. They disappeared. (Now we go to the real world.) May and Max opened their eyes, and got out of the pods they were in. “May, Max your ok!” Ginger said running up to them, Pikachu did the same. But May and Max frowned and just walked away. “Pika?” Pikachu said. Sitting on Ash’s pod, crying in little tears. Max went and sat on the couch, and stuffed a pillow over his head. May went and sat next to Tranise’s pod, where he still stood. “Oh Tranise…” May started still crying. “I am so SORRY!” May said putting her head down on Tranise’s pod and crying. She still felt the pain on her stomach even though the slash wasn’t on her anymore. A few hours later, it was dark. Max fell asleep on the couch, Ginger went to bed in her room, Pikachu slept on Ash’s pod, and May was still sitting on a chair but sleeping with her head on Tranise’s pod. That time, May had another dream. (In May’s dream.) May was sitting in an open field staring up into the sky, at the clouds that made beautiful shapes and designs. Then, Tranise came and sat by her, hugging her. She loved the feeling of being in his arms, but that moment faded when Tranise started to turn and glow yellow again. Again, May stepped back and saw Mordikus. “May.” It said. “Why did you leave? Why did you have to stop your journey? I was with you all the way.” “I’m sorry.” May said turning away. “I couldn’t…” May was stopped by the sound of a voice she once heard. “May.” “Huh… Tranise?” “May, I have faith in you. You can do it.” Tranise said. “You have me and Mordikus by your side.” “But what if I…” May stopped when Tranise grabbed her chin and kissed her and gave her a necklace with a ruby at the end.. And that time, May woke up. (May wakes up) She got up, breathing hard and trying to stay calm. She looked at the pod where Tranise was. “What can I do?” She said in a low voice. “Look in your pocket.” A voice said and echoing. May, knowing who’s voice it was (Tranise) looked in her pocket and felt the one thing she had. The dagger that was given to her by Mordikus. She gripped it tight, hoping that faith was on her side. “I’m ready.” She said walking up to the computer. “Now it’s got to be one of these buttons.” She said wondering witch buttons could bring her back to the other world. “Pika?” May heard Pikachu behind her. “Pika pika chu?” “Sorry Pikachu but I have to go.” “Pikakaka” Pikachu said pointing its tail at a big red button (like it’s always the big red button.) “Thanks pikachu. Do you mind pressing the button while I’m in my pod?” “Pika” Pikachu said nodding. May climbed into her pod and gave pikachu a thumbs up showing him that’s he was ready. “Pikachu.” “Pi?” “Please don’t tell May and Ginger this until they find out there selves.” “Pika” Pikachu said and nodded then pressed the button. May started to glow and soon she was dead silent and now to the other world. (Deng it I forgot how many days left. I think it’s four, please correct me if it’s wrong, its hard for me to keep track of days heh.) (In da other world) May popped into the view of where they had last been, in the jungle with the dagger close to her. But this time she had the huge slash marks from the beast now. “I hope this is my destiny.” May said getting started on her journey. She walked through the dark woods and creepy webs all around. ‘ This is going to be harder then I thought it would be.’ She thought as she heard a noise. “Who’s there?” She asked looking around, frightened. “Whoever’s out there better come out right now.!” She saw bushes moving and got more scared because it was now getting darker. She saw moving everywhere but didn’t know where it came from. The thing (whatever it is) came up behind her. She turned around and saw nothing. The thing came behind her again but disappeared before May could even see it. Then, shadows came from all around her, surrounding her only ways out. She stepped back, but as she stepped back she was getting closer to the ones behind her. She didn’t know where to look. “Who are you?” She asked. She turned around and the thing behind her struck her shoulder with a chop and May fell to the ground. (In the real world.) Max woke up the next day and saw pikachu watching TV. “Hey pikachu what are you doing?” Max asked. “Pi?” Pikachu said with sweat drops trying not to stare at May’s pod. Max stared around wondering where May was but didn’t see her. “Ok pikachu where’s May? I know you know where she is now tell me!” Max yelled at pikachu witch was waking up Ginger. Ginger came in yawning and didn’t know what all the noise was. “What’s wrong Max?” She asked. “Pikachu wont tell me where Ma…” Max paused and heard pounding on the outside. Max was about to go and open it but Ginger stopped him. “No Max don’t. It could be just the storm but to make sure lets check the surveillance camera.” Ginger went to her computers and looked at the surveillance to the door. “Hey who are they?” She said. “Huh?” Max said walking to the screen. “Hey it’s team rocket!” he said as he saw them freezing to death…well lets just say they were cold. (Team rocket) “Please you guys whoever’s in there open the stupid door were freezing to death!” Jesse said banging on the door “Please whoever is in there open the door! The storm is getting worse!” James said crying for his life. “MEEOWTH OPEN DA STINKIN DOOR!” Meowth cried trying to cut the door down. They banged on the door for a longtime before it opened and they fell in. “What are you guys doing on this island?” Max said closing the door. “Who are they?” “Prepare for a cold trouble” “And make that a freezing double” “To protect the world from devastation” “To unite our people within our nation” “To defend all I have with truth and love” “To reach the stars with the almighty space above” “Jesse” “James” “Team rocket blasts off at the speed of light” “Surrender now or prepare to freeze fight and…” “Meowth that’s right*right*…I’m cold!” Meowth complained and went on the couch and covered him self with a blanket. “Hey Meowth save us some room!” James said running up to him and getting in the blanket. “What wimps.” Jessie said. “By the way where are the other twerps?” Jesse said and then realized the pods and that everyone was in it. “Oh boy looks like fun can I go in?” “No it’s not a bed, it’s a pod for something…to save the world.” Ginger said. “O…Kay” Jesse said. “MAY WHERE ARE YOU!?” Max said still searching for her. “You mean this girl right here?” Jesse said pointing to a pod where May was. “Pi? PIKACHUUUUUU!” Pikachu set a thunder bolt and shocked Jesse. “WHY you clumsy little RAT!” Jesse said trying to choke Pikachu. As they were fighting, James stepped out to talk. “So what happened to the others?” He asked. “They…died.” Ginger replied. “What! BUT HOW!?” Meowth asked. “What do you care?” Max said looking at May in her pod. “AND WHY DIDN’T PIKACHU TELL US!?” Max yelled at pikachu breaking up Jesse’s fight with pikachu. “Pi pi pi pikachu.” Pikachu said frowning. “Uhh meowth translations please.” James asked. “Pikachu said that May is now in some otha world and pikachu helped.” Meowth said translating pikachu’s words. “Pi.” Pikachu said nodding. “But why didn’t you tell us!?” Max asked. “Pika chu chu chu!” “Pikachu said that he promised to keep it a secret.” Meowth said translating pikachu’s words again. “Ah…” Max stepped back. “No, May I WANNA GO BACK IN TOO!” Max said pulling on Gingers lab jacket. “NO Max it’s to dangerous right now, I wont let you go in.” “But May only has (I forgot how many days left again! DARNIT! I think it’s three… YEA IT’S THREE! Correct me if I’m wrong please.) Three days left until something bad will happen.” Max said now having tears down his face. “I’m sorry max but I cannot let you and that’s FINAL!” Ginger said. “NO!” Max said running to a bedroom. Team Rocket was just sitting on the couch not knowing what was going on but the storm. Ginger then sat down by her computers trying to search for May on her computer. (Now were at May) May was knocked out and still on the floor where she was. The shadows that knocked her out were now talking to each other. “Now what should we do to this little thing here ey darling?” a women shadow said. “Well, we could give her to Lodias just like he wanted.” The manlike shadow answered. More like the leader. “Aww but I am always tired of giving food to the boss. Can’t we just have a little nibble on her tiny little hands?” “NO we must give that thing to the boss, remember if we do then he will give us anything we want. And we want to go into that little things world and all there. And I think that that thing is a human, so if we bring that…human to the boss Lodias the my wish would be to rule the human world with everyone else here.” He stopped and everyone was in agreement and started laughing. “HAHAHAHAAH Those pathetic…Humans wont know what hit them.” One of the other shadows said. “Hey… what’s that thing there?” A shadow said pointing to May’s dagger. “It can’t be…can it?” Another shadow said. “It is! The dagger that can destroy Lodias! We must destroy it now!” The leader shadow said. As they all were about to touch it, it glowed bright yellow again and Mordikus and Tranise popped right over May and in front of all the shadows. Both glowing yellow and had a mad look on there face.’ “You shadow lords are despicable.” Tranise and Mordikus said. “We are here to take this human to LODIAS NOW GET OUTA THA WAY MORDIKUS!” The shadow leader said. “Well well well im surprised you guys remember me.” Tranise and Mordikus both said again. They gave a wave of arm across their faces and waved C’ya! Then a huge bright light glowed and really bright this time. “You shadows live in the shadows and without them you are nothing! NOW BEGONE!” Tranise and Mordikus said and soon after a few seconds, the light faded and the shadow monsters were gone. Mordikus disappeared but Tranise was still there. He walked up to May and saw her still laying on the ground. He gave her a sweet soft kiss and said. “Wake up May, Two more days left.” After that May suddenly woke and Tranise had disappeared. “Tranise?” She said rubbing her head from waking. “Oh no! Is it morning? Two days left!” She got up and ran the way out of the woods. ‘ What hit me?’ she thought as she was running along a road and now out of the forest. (Back to Max and Ginger ad the rest.) “Max I can see her!” Ginger said pointing to the screen. “Where?” Max asked running towards her followed by team rocket. “Hey how can that twerp be there when she’s in that pod?” James asked. Then Jesse punched him upside. “Like they’re going to tell us right now!” Jesse yelled at him trying to watch May. (Now back to May once again.) “May!” Max said, his voice sounding like it was in the air. “Max? Is that you?” May asked not knowing where he was. “Yes and im still with Ginger, how could you just leave without telling us?” “Im sorry Max but I had to.” “What…” Max was broken up by Jesse. “Now here this you little brat! You have better save the world or else your going to get it from me!” Jesse yelled and shouting at the screen. “Team rocket? What are you guys doing there?” May asked. “No time to talk now May, Their should be a door a few miles away from you right now.” Ginger said. “Ok.” May said walking forwards. A few hours later she reached a door just like Ginger had said. “Now open it.” Ginger said. “Be careful May.” Max said. “Don’t worry I will.” She said opening the door, just as she opened the door, an arrow shot at her chest from nowhere. “Ahh!” She cried as she fell down to the ground. “MAY!” Everyone said back in the real world (Including Team rocket). “What happened?” Max asked. “I don’t know.” May said. “But im not hurt.” “What but how?” Max said.” May pulled out the arrow and saw no blood on it. “Hm that’s weird.” She said, and then pulled out a necklace from her neck out. “Hey, it’s the necklace that Tranise gave me in my dreams.” May said. “In your dream?” James said. “Yea I had a dream that Tranise gave me this and now I really see it.” May said. “Boy things are really getting weird.” Meowth said trying to look for food in the kitchen. May got up wiping the dirt off her and then just then, another arrow struck her arm. “OUCH!” She cried and fell down again. “MAY!” They all yelled again. “Ok now who keeps on doing that?” May asked looking around. “Hehehe now aren’t you strong for a human.” A voice said, then the things voice came up right by May. “Oh no, Mordikus?” May said. “Mordikus? Ha! I am not Mordikus, I am his clone created by Lodias. I am Ecrathias (Ec-kra-thee-as). Ecrathias looked like Mordikus except he was blue and wasn’t glowing. Then May got up but Ecrathias uppercut her and she flew back onto the ground (Gosh, am I being to hard on a little 10 year old girl here?) Ecrathias then kicked May in the stomach then a voice was heard. “STOP!” It said, and then May’s dagger began to glow and then came out Mordikus. “Who are you?” Ecrathias asked. “I am Mordikus, sworn duty to destroy Lodias and also a curse to harm others as well.” Mordikus said sounding the voice of Tranise mixed in also. May, now getting up from her down fall got up and said. “Be careful please Mordikus and Tranise.” She said. Mordikus was just about to strike when Ecrathias put a hand out like he was saying Stop. He opened his hand and the palm started to glow blue. The hands aim switched from Mordikus to May. “NO!” Mordikus said. Out of the palm shot out a blue beam and shot right at May. The blast hit her and she bounced back and hit against a tree. “NO!” Mordikus said filling his rage. (Gosh, im being to rough on May now am I?) Mordikus struck with a punch to Ecrathias. It was an epic battle, Evil clone verses Good, evil, and destined to protect and kill kind of guy. May was all knocked out and really hurt. “May wake up!” Max and Ginger keep yelling, trying to wake her up but no use. Ecrathias and Mordikus were battling their lives out there to see who was more powerful then the other. If Mordikus were to loose then May would be captured and if Ecrathias lost then Mordikus would try to kill May because of his curse now that May is knocked out. “You will not be able to get near her as long as you got me to get past!” Mordikus said aloud and set a beam out of his Hands (Like mega man lol) and blasted Ecrathias a couple of yards away from him. “Hehehe your curse, when Lodias created me he removed the curse and even though I am not cursed to kill others, I will still harm THEM!” Ecrathias quickly disappeared and came upon behind Mordikus and grabbed his neck from behind. “Arg!” Mordikus yelled as he tried to get out of the grip. “Why is Mordikus trying to protect May? Isn’t he suppose to hurt her?” Max asked “Yes but Mordikus still had Tranise to be his good side.” Ginger answered. “Oh.” “Well right now I’m enjoying this battle here.” James said. Everyone glared at him in fury. “How could you enjoy it when this is about the end of the world here JAMES!?” Jesse said punching him upside. Ecrathias still had a grip on Mordikus’s neck and then he threw Mordikus next to where May was still laying down. Mordikus looked down and say the dagger. “Hey Mordikus.” Tranise said from within Mordikus. “What?” Mordikus replied. “We must use the dagger we gave to May.” “WHAT! Are you a fool! We cannot, if we were to touch the dagger we could be easily hurt.” “Yea but we didn’t get hurt in her dream.” “That was a dream, nothing can be hurt in dreams.” “Well we have to use it, think about it, if we loose this battle then we loose May to and if we don’t then hopefully I can withstand you back before your curse starts to kick in.” “I am afraid that you’ve got a point there. Alright we shall use it.” Mordikus bragged the dagger from May and felt a horrible shock. “AHHHH!” He yelled as he was being electrocuted. “FOOL! You cannot withstand the daggers power, now I suggest you let it go and fight me like a strong man.” Ecrathias ran up to Mordikus and took hold of his neck again. Now he was starting to squeeze hard. “NOW…DIE ECRATHIAS!” Mordikus yelled as he took all of his might and stabbed Ecrathias right on the stomach, but the shock gave Mordikus so much damage that he fell down as well. “NO!” Ecrathias yelled as lights started popping out of him. “THIS CANNOT BE!” “IT IS, NOW BEGONE!” Mordikus waved his arm and soon Ecrathias was gone. Soon, May woke up and saw Mordikus trying to hold back his fist from hitting May. “May! Get out of the way NOW!” He yelled trying to get May out of the way. “Uh oh!” May said and dodged a punch that Mordikus almost got her with. “Mordikus what are you doing?” “ARG! We must get back away from May Mordikus!” Tranise said from within Mordikus. Then Mordikus started shining and in seconds disappeared. “Whew.” May said giving a sigh. “MAY YOUR BACK!” May heard max said out of nowhere. “Yup now time to go through the door.” She said. “Be careful May.” Ginger said. “Don’t worry I will.” “That’s what you said last time.” James said. “Team rocket? What are you doing with them?” “Uh long tory.” Meowth said. “Tory?” “Uh he means Story.” Jesse said answering May’s *Tory?* May opened the door again and froze. “Ginger, you sure this isn’t the same door as the beginning?” May asked staring into the same hall where Ash had died. “I think, I can’t really tell.” “Oh brother.” May said as she walked in. The door disappeared right behind her. Now all she had to do was go straight. She took a deep breath and started walking. About half an hour of walking and following Ginger’s directions, (Luckily she didn’t step on any traps.) she started to hear noise around the corner. She quickly went to go take a peek at it. “No May don’t!” Max said in a low voice trying to get her back. May paid no attention to Max ad went to look around the corner and hid in the shadows. She listened to what a monster said and heard. “We have a poacher here and we never found it in about eight days!” one of the things said. They had a black mask and their head was floating over there bodies. (Like haunters hands floating around.) “Well keep on looking!” The other said. May accidentally sneezed and stepped back. “What was that noise?” One of the things said. “I don’t know, you go check it out.” “Fine.” The thing said and headed May’s way. ‘OH NO!’ she thought. But then a hand from the shadows covered her mouth and pulled her into the shadows. “We must be hearing things, there’s no one here!” The thing said and went back. The thing that grabbed May dragged her out into a far away shadow where no one could see or hear them. May took the hand of her mouth and said. “Who are you and what do you want with me!?” May said in the shadows, she could hardly see anything. “You better tell me who you are right now!” May said and slapped the thing. “Ouch! May, don’t hit me like that!” The thing said. “Huh?” May was confused. ‘How did it know my name?’ she thought and stared closely at the thing. “Ash?” May said trying to guess whom it is. “E—yup That’s me.” (It was ASH) “Oh my god! It’s you Ash!” May said giving him a quick hug. “Where have you been mister? Everyone thought you died. And Misty was devastated!” “Misty was worried?” Ash asked. “Of course we all were!” May said sitting down of the shadowy floor. Ash sat next to her. “So May, where’s everyone else?” May looked at him, not wanting to tell him, but she knew that she had to. “They… They’ve all died.” Ash’s eyes shot back. “WHAT!” Ash got up and put his hand of a wall and started crying. “No, it can’t be!” He cried. “How? Tell me how May!” He said sitting down again. “Well, after we all thought you have died, Tranise took a hit for me and sacrificed himself to give me another chance, Misty, died of being to cold, Brock died from falling down. And Max is still with Ginger. And now I’m all alone.” “No… Misty. Well May, your not alone now cause I’m with you all the way!” Ash said standing up and shaking a fist. “Great!” May said also standing up and instead of shaking her fist, she held her dagger close to her. Ash looked down at the huge bloody scratches she had on her stomach. “May what happened to you?” He asked still staring at it. “Huh? Oh this?” May said looking down at her scratches. “Oh, long story. Now come on lets start going we only have two days left!” May dashed off leaving Ash in the dust. “Hey wait May! You’ll get lost here without me, wait up!” Ah dashed to her catching up and walked side by side. They reached a corner and heard more noises. “Now everyone is now looking around for whoever has been here for the last eight days, and when we finally get that thing, I want to eat his flesh and bones.” One of the things said. “Who are they?” May asked. “Their Trollocks.” Ash replied. “Trollocks?” “Yes, don’t want them to get close to your or else your in for it.” Ash tried to lead May and himself out of the big mess but they managed to get lost about an h our after May saw her first Trollock. “So where to mister navigator?” May asked sitting on the hard floor. “Sorry, I thought I knew the ways through here since I’ve been ere for almost nine days.” “NINE DAYS!?” May shouted standing up again. “Yea… what’s wrong?” “Don’t you remember Ash?” May said, the lifting her shirt to show Ash the mark on her. “Oh! Ok then come this way!” Ash took May’s hand and ran off dragging her along. A couple minutes later, they found another door and opened it. It was a clearing and it was like a hot dessert. They went through the door and after, the door shut and disappeared (Like always). “Wow, that was fast.” Ash said. “What do you mean?” May asked looking confused. “Well, really I just ran in any direction there was…so…” “Soo…?” “So, I never really knew witch way to go.” May fell down anime style. “Well any ways May, we got to get out of this dessert here.” May nodded. They walked along the hot dessert thinking they were lost. “Ash is that you!?” A voice from nowhere asked. “Huh? Who is that?” Ash asked looking around. “It’s me, Max and Ginger right beside me.” “Max! It really you?” “Yea, were glad your back.” Max said hopping around back in the real world. “We lost you when you guys were in the ancient cavern.” They heard Ginger say. “Sorry, we were too deep under ground I guess.” May said. “Hey Ginger…” Ash started. “How is… our world?” “Bad… everything is destroyed. Team Rocket told us.” “TEAM ROCKET? Their with you?” “Yeas we saved them.” Ash’s eyes got big. “After all the blasting off I’d expect them to be dead by now.” Ash said to himself. “HEY WE HEARD THAT!” Team Rocket yelled. Ash, just walking giggling at him self on what he said about team rocket. “So where to Ginger?” May asked. “In a huge dessert like that… I guess just go straight.” Ginger replied. May and Ash looked around not knowing witch way was straight. “O…Kay.” Ash started. “I guess… we will just have to go… straight?” “Just go.” May said pushing Ash. They walked for hours and still nothing. It was getting hotter and hotter and May was getting really hot. She was falling behind. Ash was about twenty feet in front of May. “Come on May, keep up.” Ash said looking back. “Easy for you to say!” May replied trying to keep up. The heat was so hot that they could see the blazing wave in the air. “This would be so easier if we had our pokemon with us.” Ash said to himself. A few minutes later, the ground started to rumble. “Earthquake!” Ash said. Ash turned to see May trying to stay on her feet but was too weak. “May! Stay up, I’m coming.” Ash started for May, the sand still shaking making May fall a lot but she managed to get back on to her feet. Right when Ash was about to get to May, the ground shook even more and a huge insecticide like monster popped from behind Ash. “Look out Ash!” May said pointing to the bug thing behind Ash. Ash looked back and ran to May. “How will we be able to defeat this thing May?” May slowly took out her dagger and pointed at the beast. “Tranise and Mordikus will.” May said. Ash was confused. May stared at Ash and said. “Long story.” Her dagger started to glow and Mordikus popped out. “Woa!” Ash was stunned. May! This beast is huge!” Mordikus said. “So what? You can take him.” Mordikus went off and kicked the insect thing on the head. The head came off and rolled towards May. “EWW!” She screemed and jumped on Ash’s back. “MAY GET OFF!” Ash yelled as a big huge leg came smashing down towards Ash. Luckily they got out of the way in time. “Now you die!” Mordikus shot out a beam and pierced through the heart of the beast. It started to disappear piece by piece. Soon, it was gone. “Thank god that was gone.” Mordikus said. He started to glow bright and turned back into Tranise. “Tranise?” Ash said looking even more confused. Then he looked at May. “MAY!” he yelled as he saw a huge thorn stuck in her heart. “No.” Tranise walked towards her and knelled down next to her and Ash. “Is she…” Ash stopped with tears. Tranise nodded. “No May!” “What will happen now Tranise?” “Without love, I cannot survive.” He touched May’s mark and felt the same pain he felt before. But this time he withstood it because he had Mordikus’s powers as well. As he felt the pain he recited the poem. “One who cares and fought, One who loves and desires, Will become the thought, Will become strong and higher, The prophecy will soon be released, And the power within the person’s mark and loves Will be able to have the power to unleash, The only power strong enough to defeat the great guardian.” Everything started to glow and was gone in seconds. Mordikus was gone, Ash was staring around wondering where Tranise went. The dagger stood in it’s place (On the ground) and May woke up and the big thorn and her wounds were gone. “Oh what happened?” May asked. “I don’t know.” Ash replied. “Well lets just get started, it’s turning night time.” Ash helped May up on her feet, but when May heard the word Night Time she thought. ‘Oh no! Will I make it in time?’ A couple hours later the sun went down and the moon rose up. “Ash.” May started. “Yes May?” “If we get to Lodias… What are we going to do?” “I.. I thought you knew.” “What? Ginger what are we going to do now?” “Well, I don’t know.” Ginger replied. “WHAT! Ginger please tell me you know!” May praised on her knees on the hot sand. “Come on May, we’ll probably know when we get there.” And so, they traveled until finally they were out of the dessert and in a clearing of a lake. “Ginger where are we?” May asked. “You guys are on the other side from where you guys were attacked by the forest beast.” “Forest beast? What beast?” Ash asked looking around. “Oh nothing.” May said making a fire. “Hey May, do you even know how to make a fire?” “Uhh.” May looked stunned. “Um, well, uhh hehehe.” “Oh brother.” “I heard that.” “Here let me help you.” Ash stepped in and made a fire in a second. “Woa how did you do that?” “Heh traveling with Brock for almost four years, you know everything you need to survive.” Ash dug in his backpack and found a can of tuna, the only food they had. Ash was just about to eat it when he heard grumbling from May’s stomach. He stared hard, knowing everything she had been through and that she needs every single strength in her to keep going. “Here.” Ash said holding out the can of tuna to May. “No Ash, you have it.” May said pushing it back. “No May. You need everything to go on, I’m not the one that’s important right now, unlike being the chosen one, or my mom being kidnapped by a pokemon called Entei. This isn’t my journey, it’s yours May, you’re the only hope for all of us.” “Don’t say that Ash!” May yelled and threw the can of tuna onto the ground, Ash picked it up. “Fine, if you don’t eat then neither do I.” Ash took the tuna and through it into the lake. “Ash, you could have ate it.” ‘ “I told you, if you don’t eat, then neither do I.” May felt sorrow, and quickly went to sleep. Ash looked into the moon and hoped that everything in the world was alright. ‘Misty, ill come for you.’ He thought and went to sleep. The noise in the air was thick, strong, and quiet. It was early morning, still dark and breezy but only one day left. May struggled through her sleepless night and had one of the most important dreams of all she ever had. (In May’s dream) May is now standing in the middle of a town, a whole bunch of people rushing, pushing, and passing through her. Then everything went blank. She stared everywhere, and saw no one. Just a black world (Hey dreams don’t have to make sense) with nothing in sight. “Where is everyone?” She asked walking nowhere. She heard a sound and saw someone walking the opposite of what she was going. “Tranise?” She called out. The boy turned and frowned. “It is you Tranise!” May ran up to him and hugged him tightly. “Who are you?” He said. May stepped back and surprised by what he said. “What do you mean… who am I?” May asked. “I Don’t know you, leave me alone.” He said back and turned away and disappeared. “Tranise…” She started but then the whole crazy place she was in turned white and blank. She blocked her eyes from the brightness. “Wo, where I am?” May said seeing people at a beach playing. She looked all over, wondering what was happening. She looked and finally found Tranise holding a picture of her (May). She walked over to him, right beside him, close enough to touch him. Then Ash came by. “Ash?” She said. But Ash didn’t see her. (It’s a dream, not making much sense) “Hey Tranise, come play with us your missing all the fun.” Ash said. “No thanks” Tranise replied. “Look Tranise, I know how you feel about May now that she’s gone.” ‘GONE!?’ May thought ‘what’s going on here?’ “Yea I know Ash but, I just can’t stop thinking about her. I Miss her really much.” Ash sat down next to him, passing through May. “Tranise, don’t you worry.” May turned and saw a boy struggling through his parents, trying to reach a girl. “You are to never see this young lady again!” The boy’s mother said. “NO, I have a choice mother!” He cried as the girl started to disappear. May turned and saw a man, looking at his family and his dream (A pokemon). “Now you have a choice Kenny.” The father said. “Either go with us and home and never see your pokemon again, or go with your pokemon and never see us again.” ”But dad! You know I can’t choose.” The man looked down and vanished just like May saw the girl vanish. The whole world went blank black again. She grabbed her head and thought. ‘What does this mean?’ “May!” She heard a voice call out. “May wake up now!” She struggled and started to struggle her breathing. She chocked and gargled like she was drowning. “May wake up!” Ash said, shaking her to wake up. She struggled for a while before waking up, but when she woke up, she was still on a dark world. “May your awake!” Ash said in relief. May turned to Ash. “And you are?” She asked. “Uh… May im Ash remember?” May took an arm and pushed Ash against a tree. “AHH!” He screamed as he got forced back against a hard tree. “May, what has goon into you?” “Hehehe.” May started to laugh. “So, you are the one that was suppose to DIE IN MY TRAP THROUGH THE ANCIENT TOMBS!” “Huh? Hey wait a minute. Who Are you?” “I guess I have not introduced myself to you yet, My name is Lodias and I am the one you and your friends seek.” “What did you do to May?” “She i..is…” Lodias broke up and May broke in. “Ash!” May said struggling to over take Lodias. “A..ASH take my..m.” “No you fool let me talk!” Lodias stammered. Still struggling with May Lodias made a growl. “Well if I can’t get control then you two shall not make it to ME!” Lodias took May’s dagger and forced itself to plunge it into May’s heart. “NO!” Ash cried. “AHAHA!” Lodias laughed as it faded away. Light shined from the stab in May’s heart. May dropped to the floor, Ash got upset and scared. “No May!” Ash ran up to her and nothing was good. The dagger was still in her heart. It shined light again and this time, Tranise appeared. “Tranise?” Ash said looking confused again. Tranise walked down to May and held her neck. He slid his hand down her neck and pulled the necklace that May got from him in her dream. “What’s that?” Ash asked. Tranise opened May’s shirt to where she got stabbed and showed Ash that there was no wound and she was not hurt. “Wo… Tranise I…” Ash turned and Tranise was gone. May woke up and glanced around. “Ash, what happened?” She asked, she looked down at her shirt and saw that it was ripped down to her heart. “ASH! What are you doing!” She said and held her hand to cover her ripped spot. (You all know what I mean… hopefully.) “What? Hey it wasn’t ME!?” Ash said. “Yea whatever.” May said and slapped him. Ash rubbed his red spot and felt it sting. “Ouch, how do you girls hit so hard?” He asked. “Oh the dagger May.” Ash said picking it up. “Oh, thank you.” May took it from Ash’s hand and tied it to her waist. “What happened to you May? You almost died in your sleep.” “Well, you see I had this dream…” She thought back to the dreams she had. “Now that she’s gone.” “Choose, your pokemon or us.” “You are never going to see that young lady again!” All of those words ran through her mind. “I rather not tlak about it.” She said looking up at the sun that was now up. “Besides, we have got to accomplish this by today, whatever we have to do.” Ash nodded and walked forwards. May followed close by. A few hours passed by and now they were traveling through a tunnel. “Now that she’s gone.” “Choose, your pokemon or us.” “You are never going to see that young lady again!” “Now that she’s gone.” “Choose, your pokemon or us.” “You are never going to see that young lady again!” “Now that she’s gone.” “Choose, your pokemon or us.” “You are never going to see that young lady again!” All of those words raced through her mind, she knew it had something to do with what was going on to her. (Now a song plays in the background while she thinks. *Over and over again*) Cause its all in my head I think about it over and over again And I can’t keep picturing you with him And it hurts so bad, yeah Cause it’s on in my head I think about it over and over again I replay it over and over again And I can’t take it yeah I can’t shake it Nooo I can’t wait to see you Want to see if you still got that look in your eyes That one you had for me before we said our goodbyes And it’s a shame that we got to spend our time Being mad about the same things Over and over again About the same things Over and over again Ohh But I think she’s leaving Ooh man she’s leaving I don’t know what else to do (I Can’t go on not loving you) Cause its all in my head I think about it over and over again And I can’t keep picturing you with him And it hurts so bad, yeah Cause its on in my head I think about it over and over again I replay it over and over again yeah And I can’t take it yeah I can’t shake it Nooo I remember the day you left I remember the last breath you took right in front of me When you said that u would leave I was too damn stubborn to try to stop you or say anything But I see clearly now and this chose I made keep playing in my head Over and over again Playing my head Over and over again Ohh I think she’s leaving Ooh man she’s leaving I don’t know what else to do (I Can’t go on not loving you) Cause its all in my head I think about it over and over again And I can’t keep picturing you with him And it hurts so bad, yeah Cause its on in my head I think about it over and over again I replay it over and over again And I can’t take it I can’t shake it Nooo (Now that I’ve realizes that I’m going down From all this pain you’ve put me through Every time I close my eyes I like it ? I can’t go on not loving you) Cause its all in my head I think about it over and over again And I can’t keep picturing you with him And it hurts so bad, yeah Cause its on in my head I think about it over and over again I replay it over and over again And I can’t take it I can’t shake it Nooo Cause its all in my head I think about it over and over again And I can’t keep picturing you with him And it hurts so bad, yeah Cause its on in my head I think about it over and over again I replay it over and over again And I can’t take it I can’t shake it Nooo Over and Over again Over and Over again Cause it’s all in my head (wanna get this song? Just buy a Nelly CD.) After the song, she sat down on the hard floor almost dieing for water. “May come on get up!” Ash said trying to pull her up. “I can’t.” May said taking deep breaths. “I need water. Something to drink.” “Here May, have my canteen.” Ash took out his canteen with little water left from his backpack and handed it to May. “Thanks Ash.” M ay took the canteen and gulped the last but of water down. She got up and still deep breathing but was willing to go on. “OK Ash im ready.” May walked slowly but stead. Closely followed by Ash. It’s been almost an hour for walking in the cave and no sign of an exit any where. “Where’s the exit?” Ash complained. “Can’t go on… much longer.” Ash turned around and saw May down at her knees, and then laying on the floor. “MAY!” Ash ran up to her and tried to wake her up. But it was useless. The cave started to rumble and the cave roof started to fall. “Oh no… uh May you have got to wake up now!” “Arg.” Ash had no choice; he would have to carry her. He picked her up onto his back and started running away from the collapsing cave. The cave was well close to collapsing over them but they managed to get out of it in time. He looked around and saw that they were on a hot, and huge mountain. More like a volcano that was about to erupt. “Ash can you here me? “ Ginger’s voice soared through the air. “Yes I hear you loud and clear.” He replied. “Great, you guys are…” She got broken up. “Where were you guys? And tell me what’s going on with May here Ginger!” Ash said. “Well. May is probably tired of all the traveling she had done, and if you look up at the speck up at the tip of the volcano up there.” Ash looked up and saw a shining little…thing…speck…what ever lets just say it’s like seeing a star from earth. “Up there is a door, and the door leads to Lodias, the final step is what you guys are about to face.” Ash gazed at the door…speck (What ever) and heard moaning from May. “May!” He said and turned to help her up. “Ash… oh where are we?” She asked rubbing her eyes from the smoke all over her. “You’d be surprised that we just need to get to the top of this volcano.” Ash replied. “Volcano!” Her eyes lid up in fright. “Yea, now come on we have got to hurry with we don’t wanna get melted down to air.” Ash grabbed May’s hand and they started towards the mountain. The rumbling got louder and harder to withstand Ash and May fell down every minute they walked but they were able to keep on going. “Now that she’s gone.” “Choose, your pokemon or us.” “You are never going to see that young lady again!” “Now that she’s gone.” “Choose, your pokemon or us.” “You are never going to see that young lady again!” They still ran through her head, giving her a headache. ‘What does this all mean?’ She thought. An eruption roared through the air and lava poured out of the top. “Oh no.” Ash started “It’s erupting and were barely half way there. Ginger, lil’ help here.” “There’s nothing to do but to go straight.. I mean. I…I don’t know.” “You mean were trapped?” May asked. Then her dagger (again) Started to glow bright yellow. It lasted a few minutes and Ash and May were blocking there eyes from the light. When the light faded, Ash and May were amazed by what they saw. “Golly.” May said as she saw lava passing through them, but it didn’t burn. “Hey, it’s not burning us.” Ash said pushing a finger through the lava. “Thank you Mordikus.” May said. “Huh? May could you please tell me what’s going on?” “No Ash, it’s almost dark and this is the last day until…whatever will happen to the world. “Okay.” They walked up and on the lava but the volcano still rumbling. They finally reached the door but meteorite started to fall down. “AH Watch out May.” Ash yelled covering his head from getting hit. “Well come on we’ll be much safer if we got through this door… hopefully.” They opened the door and rushed in and saw a bunch of Lodias like statues and sculptures and a red carpet right in the middle of an isle. “Lodias must be appreciated here.” Ash said. “By who? Himself?” May said back. “Hey hey, im just saying that this place looks fancy.” “Well he is the creator of this world.” May said in a grumpy rage. “May, now what’s wrong?” May stopped walking and dropped down to her knees and started crying. “I… I think I have a choice… one that I don’t want to choose from.” “What do you mean?” “Last night when we were sleeping… I had a dream.” May thought back and said what was running through her mind. “Now that she’s gone. What if it means that…something bad will happen and will stay that way? Choose, your pokemon or us? What if that means I have to make a choice of what to do? You are never going to see that young lady again. What if that means ill never see you guys again. It’s all going through my mind and it’s getting me mad!” Ash came up to her and padded her on the shoulders. “May, we still have time.” “Oh yea? Well how much?” May said getting louder. “Ginger, would you mind telling us how much time we got left?” “An hour.” Ginger replied. “That’s not much, so you two better hurry up. This…this… the storm has reached us plea..please hurry Now….” She broke up now Ash and May couldn’t get help. “Ginger what happened?” Ash asked. “We can’t worry about that now Ash come on she said one hour and that’s all we got.” The rumbling still roared even inside… whatever there in. (Hey people say the writer should know where the characters in but I can’t explain what there in its so hard.) “The rumbling from the volcano must still be part oft his place.” Ash said. “Stairs.” May said looking at… Stairs. “Ok what about them?” “I feel that we have to climb them.” “Well nothing bad can happen, were inside a fancy like palace and their…only stairs.” Ash took a step but May pushed him aside. “Ladies first.” She said. “They have got to get rid of that rule.” Ash said. After they got up the stairs they saw two humongous guards blocking a big giant solid door. Ash went to open it but the guards stopped them. “HALT! Lodias is behind these doors and he wish not to be disturbed.” On of the guards said. “Were here to destroy Lodias and…” Ash turned and covered May’s mouth and whispered into her ears. “May, I don’t think you should have said that.” May’s eyes widened and the guards stepped forwards. “So, you are the intruders the boss was walking about.” The other guard said. “We will have to kill you both then.” It said again and drew out a sword and a shield. The other one drew out a he hatchet and another shield. “Now what?” May said pushing Ash’s hands apart. “We run!” Ash said dragging May down the stairs and down another one. One of the guards looked out the window. “It’s getting dark, you stay here while I go search for them, they will be coming back here soon enough.” The other guard nodded and stood its position while the other one went after May and Ash. Ash and May were running as fast as they could while the guard was close behind them. “You will not escape!” He said and drew out his hatchet and threw at May and Ash but missed and fell to the ground. “Oh yea? Well uhh…” Ash started but saw a dead end with a left and a right way to go. “May split up!” Ash said. “Ok.” May went to the right side and Ash went the left. The dark hall ways they went down was lighted by torches. “The darkness will prevail.” The guard said and started to disappear into a shadow and the torched candles went out. Everything was now dark. Ash runs and runs and bangs into a wall now that the lights were gone. “Dumb candles.” He said. He got up and felt a breeze down on his feet. The moonlight from the windows lighted the floor and he saw a slight shadow figure running past him. It came past and in front of him and turned back into the guard. “Oh no!” Ash said stepping back. “Fool, you should know never to go through these dark halls, I know these ways better then the master Lodias.” “So I guess you mean it’s a bad idea to ever go here right?” “Exactly..eh what do you mean?” “If it’s so much of a bad place, the your right, ‘cause your in for a hit.” Ash said folding his arms. “What are you talking about? UH.” The guard drew his hands down and felt a sword, stabbed him from the back. The sword drew back from the blood and the guard fell to the floor. “Hehe, thanks May.” Ash said looking ahead of him. “Wait your not May, you’re the other guard.” Ash’s eyes were shocked. “why did you kill your own friend?” “Friend?” he said. “He was never my friend, always telling me what to do, ARG IM GETTING SICK OF IT AND NOW YOU WILL MEET THE SAME FATE AS WHAT YOU HAVE JUST OBSERVED!” He drew his sword again and swung it towards Ash. “Ah!” Ash managed to dodge it and run away. He ran down the hall and passing by windows with the moonshining but when he passed another window, the moon faded and disappeared and now it was dark, so dark that Ash could not see anything at all. Ash felt someone grabbing his and screamed. “AHHHHHHHHHHH!” May heard the sound and was startled that the moon faded out. “Oh no. Ash.” She said. She ran back up the stairs and back to the door and noticed the other guard was gone. “Where’s the other guard?” She looked all over but no sign. “O’well lets go get Lodias.” She tried to open the door but it was sealed shut. “How do I open this door?” She said to herself. “You don’t.” A voice said from behind her. She turned and saw the guard (With the sword) standing right in front of her with Ash in his hand. “Ash!” She cried. “If you want your friend here to be free, then you must promise to never come back here ever again.” The guard said. “No May don’t do it.” Ash yelled. “But what about you?” “I told you, it’s all about you now, not me, only you.” May stared hard at the ground, not knowing what to do. “What if I choose not to?” She asked the guard. “Then.” The guard drew his sword up to Ash’s neck. “You shall see you self.” “No… Ash.” “Don’t do it May.” “You got five seconds young human.” “No!” May yelled. “Four.” “May don’t!” Ash yelled. “Three.” “Ash, no.” “Two.” “Better choose.” “May don’t choose, let me be.” “One, TO LATE NOW!” “NO!” May yelled but it was to late. The sword flew across Ash’s throat and he fell on the floor. “Ash, no.” May cried as Ash stated to vanish into thin air. “You had a chance to save him, but you decided to listen to him instead.” The guard said wiping the blood off his sword. May looked down, depressed and mad at what she has chosen to do. “No, I did the right thing.” She said still looking down. “What do you mean? You are the one who made me kill him.” “Yea but I had to do it… to destroy Lodias!” She looked up and held the dagger pointing at the guard. “You have a worthless little dagger on front of you, what are you going to do? Poke me to death?” The guard joked and laughed. “No, worst then that. Perhaps you remember Mordikus.” May said. The guard stopped laughing. “You are joking!” “Guess again!” The dagger started to glow again and Mordikus shined out to the battlefield…well not really a battlefield but you get what I mean (hopefully). “Remember me?” Mordikus said with a mixed voice of Tranise in him. “Yes, you are the one sworn to destroy and protect. I remember what you did to me ten thousand years ago. But this will not happen this time.” The guard said drawing his sword and threw his shield down to the ground. “Are you sure about that?” Mordikus said drawing up his fist and his laser cannons from his risks. “Arg, Ahh!” The guard charged at him with force. “May step back.” Mordikus said as he got hit on the shoulders with a slight cut from the sword. “Are you ok Mordikus?” May asked. “Yes…” Mordikus said holding his wound. “But stay back no matter what.” May took a few more steps back and hid behind the corners. “Why are you protecting her when you are also cursed to kill others?” The guard asked. “I have my ways.” Mordikus answered back and struck with a punch to the face of the guard. He struck back with his sword but Mordikus dodged it and fought back by shooting laser beams out of his cannons. The blast made a direct hit and blasted the guard against a wall. “Hmm, Deja-Vu.” Mordikus said. “You remember how I killed you ten thousand year ago?” Mordikus asked. “Yes, and I remember it quit well to dodge it to.” The Guard said. Mordikus aimed his laser cannons right at the face of the guard. “Meat the face of defeat once again.” He said. “I don’t think so.” The beam fired and made a huge explosion through the halls. “I didn’t get him.” Mordikus said. “I guess he is wiser then last time. But now where is he?” “Right behind you.” Mordikus turned and saw the guard holding his sword close up to May. “Let me go you jerk.” May said struggling to get out. “NEVER!” He yelled. “Let her go now.” Mordikus said pointing his cannons at him. “By the time you shoots your lasers…” He hissed. “I will already have moved her head right into the blast protecting me. If you want her to live, you shall do me a favor and take of your lasers onto the ground.” “Mordikus don’t! He’ll destroy you too!” May said still trying to get out of grip. But Mordikus had no choice. He pulled off his cannons and threw them onto the floor. “Good.” The guard threw May onto the ground with a thud. He then drew out his sword and was ready to strike. “Now, time for you to die!” The guard struck and slashed his sword forwards. “I don’t think so.” Mordikus said and dodged at the last second. “If you really want your revenge on me then you must prove It with real skills.” Mordikus said and held out his fists. “Fine, have it your way.” The guard threw down his sword and too held up his face. They both charged and it was an epic battle. Mordikus was about a foot for so smaller then the guard but Mordikus has more skills then anything in that kind of world. The guard flung a fist and missed. Then Mordikus flung his fist and punched the guard directly in the face of the guard. He flew back next to his sword. “I don’t wanna play no more.” He said and picked up his sword. “You cowered.” Mordikus said. “I just want to destroy you!” The guard ran up against Mordikus and pushed him back into the corner. “Time for you to die.” The guard held up his sword and was about to strike until a little dagger plunged through his chest. He moved his hand towards the pain, and screamed until he turned into dust and vanished with the wind. And after he vanished May was right in front of Mordikus and shocked at what she did. “What did I just do?” She said. “You just saved my life May.” Mordikus said to her. “But, I never killed anyone before.” “I know, when you first kill something or someone, you feel sorry, sad, sorrow, but if you know that if it is the right thing to do, then you should not be sorry for it. Now May.” May looked up. “After we enter the room, once you call me out, you will have to choose the right time to use the dagger we gave you.” “We?” May asked. “Ya, we May.” Tranise’s voice soared through the air. “Oh.” “But choose your time wisely, because once we enter, I am not able to return to your safety. I will be sworn t kill from the inside on.” “Ok.” May said and walked to the door. “Just how do we open it?” She asked. “Stand back.” May took a few steps back and watched carefully. Mordikus walked against the door and put his hand on the door and the voice of Mordikus changed into Tranise’s voice, he asked May a valuing question. “May?” He said. “Yes Tranise?” “Do you love me?” May stepped back and wondering what he was talking about. “Of course I do, why?” “Then, if you really do, when you stab the dagger into Mordikus, I just want you to know that, ill be gone with Mordikus to, unless your choice is good enough to keep me.” “What?” May ran up to Mordikus (Or Tranise) and hugged him. “Please don’t say that.” He hugged her back and he had tears going down his eyes, but he pushed her back without saying a word and turned back into the door. He pushed as hard as he could, for every minute he pushed, it only moved and inch. Five minutes has passed and the door opened enough for May to fit in. “Now, time to go.” He said and disappeared into the dagger again. “Now lets go stop Lodias.” May slipped through the crack in the door and saw Lodias chanting at a green fire. He turned. “Hm? Oh I see you made it.” He said. His hard armor burst into flames and he stood as tall as Mordikus. He had hard thick gray armor that felt like a tank. “Only ten minutes left young lady.” May gazed at him wondering what to do. “Are you just going to stand there and bored e to death?” “No… Im going to…uhh. Mordikus help!” Mordikus then popped out right infront of May. “So Mordikus, it’s you and me again. I would have to say the past ten thousand years you haven’t changed a bit.” “And you still look as pathetic as you did ten thousand years ago.” Mordikus said back. “Arg, no one insults me.” His hand turned into a kinglers pincers (His ditto power) and pounded Mordikus hard in the stomach. “May.” Mordikus said. “Yea?” May said scared of what she could do. “In the flame is a globe of you planet. To stop the disaster, you must destroy it.” “Ok.” May ran to the fire and saw a globe, just like what Mordikus told her. “NO!” Lodias’s hand turned into a vine whip and caught May by the ankles. “Help!” She yelled. “Let her go!” Mordikus took his cannons and shot Lodias in the head, burning part of his head. “Eww, don’t do that while in near his head Mordikus.” May screamed and struggled to get out. Lodias dropped her and both his hands turned into slicing sharp swords. His body turned into a hard lack body armored person. “Time to die Mordikus!” He said. “You don’t know how many times I’ve heard that today.” Mordikus said as he dodged a slash from Lodias. “Well it will be the last time you ever say it.” Lodias said. He took another slash and hit Mordikus on the arm. “May hurry and destroy it!” May quickly ran up to it but then the fire grew bigger and too big for May’s hands to touch. “Ah, I can’t.” She said, but Mordikus ignored her. “I have had enough.” Mordikus said and his cannons turned into one long blade and a shield. He struck his blade and swiped it against Lodias’s arm but missed. The fire died down at May and she managed to grab the globe with five minutes to spare. “I got it!” She said. “Great, now destroy it!” Mordikus yelled out. “How?” “NO!” Lodias ran towards May and tried to grab the globe but she moved away just in time. “DIE!” Mordikus said and quickly as Lodias fell, stabbed the long sword right between Lodias’s eyes. He dropped dead on the floor. “Wait, for another ten thousand years I shall get my revenge again.” Lodias said with the blade still struck in his head. “Give me the globe May.” Mordikus said holding a hand out. “Ok.” May gave the globe to Mordikus and he took it. “The only reason why you, Lodias lived for another ten thousand year because this globe still existed. But now that I can destroy this, you are gone for ever.” The eyes of Lodias widened. Mordikus took the red glowing globe and smashed it to the floor. “NOOOO!” Lodias yelled as he and the globe started to disappear piece by piece. “Just in time.” He said. “Why? How much time did we have left?” May asked. “A bit less then two seconds.” “Oh whew.” May wiped the sweat off her head. “Well now what Mordikus?” She asked. But Mordikus didn’t move. “Hello? Earth to Mordikus. You there?” Mordikus stood up and turned to May with red eyes. “Are you ok?” “May! Now it’s time, destroy us!” “Oh no! Not now!” May stepped back not wanting to hurt Tranise and Mordikus. “Please May.” Tranise’s voice roared. “If you love me, then you’ll use the dagger!” He said. “But, I can’t.” “DO IT!” He yelled and was forced to swing an arm and almost hit May. “If you don’t then ill be forced to destroy you!” “But…” “DO IT!” May closed her eyes and threw the dagger, it flew and stabbed Mordikus and Tranise on the chest. They both fell down. “Thank you May.” Mordikus said. “No, please don’t go.” May said with tears down her face. Then everything went blank. Everything was dark and only three rectangle door like figures showed. “May.” She heard a voice call to her. It was Tranise, but with the voice of Mordikus. “What do I do now?” She asked. “You must choose between these doors.” “What?” “The first door, if you go in, your loved one will be with you, but will not remember all you have been through. The second door, if you go through it, you will be nothing but a living soul. And the third door, Tranise, will have never existed in your world.” “What!” “Why are you giving me these choices? I…” She stopped and thought, “Now that she’s gone.” “Choose, your pokemon or us.” “You are never going to see that young lady again!” “Now that she’s gone.” “Choose, your pokemon or us.” “So this is it.” “I have to choose.” She fell down to her knees and covered her eyes and started to cry. “I guess I shouldn’t feel bad for what im doing that right.” She said. She walked in through the second door, after she entered, everything went white. (One week later.) The world was in peace again; everyone remembered what they all had been through, all but May that was. She was nowhere to be found. Max, Brock, Pikachu, and Misty were playing in the water at the beach. Ash and Tranise were sitting on the sand looking up at the sun. Tranise took out a picture of May and stared at it real close. Ash then looked at Tranise and wanted to say something but Tranise started first. “Do you think I’ll ever see her again?” He said. “Tranise, don’t you worry, hope isn’t over.” Ash said. Tranise threw the picture on the ground and got up and walked away. Ash picked the picture back up and ran up to him. “Listen Tranise, she isn’t gone forever.” “How do you know?” “Well, Ginger did say that when we woke up, she never saw May anymore. And uhh. Im just confusing myself.” Tranise looked and heard a familiar voice. “Ahe, come on Torchick!” “Tor Tor TOR!” The girl and the pokemon looked just Like May. “May?” Tranise said and ran up to her. The girl stopped playing with her torchick and looked over to Tranise. “May is that you?” He said finally getting to her. “Hello, who are you?” She said. “May, where have you been all this weak?” “Im sorry but I don’t know who you are.” “You the petalburgh gym leaders daughter and im…well. Im the one, who, ever cared about you.” “Im sorry but I still don’t know you….” (To be continued part 3 Remember)
